Chapter 1579 Puppy

With so many surviving humans, some will eventually have the courage to explore, and they are also the most likely to continue and develop to the end.

…

When it was almost night, Bai Hao took out the pine resin after taking care of the shelter, put it into the iron pot and began to boil it.

The process of making candles is actually not complicated. Just add pine resin and boil it into a sticky juice, and then pour it into the mold.

You just need to control the heat, and there won’t be too many accidents.

So it didn’t take too long for Bai Hao to boil the juice and then pour it into the bamboo tube.

During the cooling and solidification process, he tore off a very thin cotton cloth from the original clothes and put it into the bamboo tube as a fuse, leaving only a head exposed.

All the pine resin added up to make nearly one and a half candles, but this is also considered a larger candle, because the diameter of the bamboo tube is nearly three centimeters and the depth is about 10 cm. This is the thinnest one.

But since it is for my own use, it doesn’t matter if the candle is bigger.

After finishing, just put the candle in the window to dry and solidify.

By the next morning, the candle had completely condensed into a yellow-white solid, and it also exuded a faint fragrance.

Bai Hao tried to light it, and saw a small spark appear in front of his eyes, emitting a dim light, swaying slightly in the air, with a warm and cozy atmosphere.

"Success!"

Bai Hao showed a happy expression on his face. This is definitely a big step forward in civilization, and candles are also a product of civilization.

At least in primitive society, only fires can be used to make fire for lighting, but now all human knowledge can be used to create another product of the civilized era.

The two also put the candles into the survival store and checked the value of the candles. It was far beyond their imagination. A set of tube candles can be directly exchanged for 3 survival coins.

Perhaps on the surface, a candle is three survival coins, and a bamboo backpack is two survival coins. There is only one survival coin between the two.

But in fact, the gap between the two is still very large.

Because the bamboo backpack needs to be woven by hand, which takes two days and consumes a lot of energy of two people, so these two survival coins are hard-earned money.

But candles are completely different. The work from beginning to end is actually very simple: just open a hole in the pine tree, tie a bamboo tube to collect pine resin, and then boil it back to make candles.

If you don’t add the waiting time in the middle, the whole process may only take about 30 minutes.

Therefore, it is very easy to earn these three survival coins, which is purely based on technology.

And there is another very important point. Don’t look at the little pine resin accumulated in three days, which seems very little and very rare.

But this is actually because Bai Hao is collecting for the first time, so he only brought a dozen bamboo tubes, but if he ties a bamboo tube to collect pine resin on all the pine trees, the number will rise immediately!

Therefore, this is a very profitable job, which can provide a lot of survival coins for the two without spending too much effort.

And in the future, in the process of trading with other survivors, the value of candles is also very high, and it can be sold as a very important commodity.

The two could already imagine that their survival life would be easier in the future.

However, today's luck was not over yet. When they opened the survival store to check the candle prices, they also used today's random product qualifications.

Soon, three random products appeared, and the products that made the two very excited appeared, and they began to seriously consider whether to proceed.

The quality of the three products that appeared this time was very good.

[Salted fish*8 survival coins, puppy*20 survival coins, salt 1000g*5 survival coins. 】

Among them, two kilograms of salt only cost five survival coins, which did not require too much consideration. The two bought it directly. Such a necessity of life, and it was still far lower than the price in regular stores, it would be a fool not to buy it.

Moreover, if a large amount of salt could be obtained, it could be used for pickling, which could ensure that the food would not rot to a greater extent, but with the current salt reserves of the two, it was highly likely that pickling could not be carried out.

What the two needed to consider was whether to buy the puppy that appeared again?

In the wild environment, a hunting dog raised from childhood to adulthood has very important significance and value.

First of all, it can guard the house and prevent wild animals from approaching the shelter and not being discovered.

At least it can be stationed next to the shelter to ensure that the two can prevent danger at night.

Secondly, whether it is a vegetable garden or a reservoir, it will usually be harassed by birds and other wild animals. Raising a dog can also help drive them away.

Finally, there is a very important point. It is still difficult for people to survive in the wild, but dogs have strong hunting ability in the wild and can assist hunting.

Such a existence that can both guard the house and go out hunting is not less valuable than a survivor, and this kind of dog is almost 100% loyal, which is definitely the best helper.

Even apart from these benefits, it is also very good to just bring them a good mood.

Considering that the funds are relatively abundant now, the two of them considered for a while and finally gritted their teeth and spent 20 survival coins to buy this puppy.

But when they saw the puppy, their faces turned green for a moment.

This is actually a little puppy that hasn't opened its eyes yet!

They knew it should be a puppy, but this dog hasn't opened its eyes yet! It's a cub that was just born one or two days ago. It seems to be still sucking milk, and even its fur is wet.

The two didn't dare to hesitate too much, and hurriedly picked it up and brought it into the house, lit the fireplace, and then made a nest with a bamboo basket next to the fireplace and put the puppy in.

But looking at the puppy that looked like a newborn baby, the two were also in trouble for a while.

This thing is still drinking milk, what should they feed it?

If it can't be well taken care of, maybe this little thing will die in a few days, and the 20 survival coins will be wasted.

But speaking of it, there is not much food that can be used to feed puppies in the entire shelter now, only pimple soup.

It's just that this puppy can't eat puppies, it can only drink soup, but there are still some nutrients in the soup after all. It can survive for a few days, and it shouldn't die.

So, the two of them immediately made some dumpling soup, but they crushed the starch as much as possible to make it into a thinner and thicker soup, which would be easier for the puppy to eat.
